Background

About Maxine Su

I am currently employed as the Assistant Chief Financial Officer at the Greater Sydney Conference of the Seventh-Day Adventist church, which owns 6 schools, 3 aged care facilities, and more than 100 churches. Half of my time has been dedicated to financial management and the operation of the school’s company. In the last 7 years, I have been investing my time in building different financial models and scenarios, working on forecasting and budgeting for schools company for decision-making. The schools' company’s equity has grown from negative to over 30 million by the end of 2022. I have been working in an awesome team of 10 members. We work tirelessly, support and back up each other as well as balance life and work. I also work closely with the CFO: we always discuss options and scenarios, pros and cons, opportunities and limitations. We worked together to come up with a 10-year capital plan which allows the company to plan for the future as well as prepare for the challenges, so we will neither miss out opportunities nor get into the deep water which we cannot leave easily. Before I worked for the Not-For-Profit organization, I used to work for 7 years in the media industry which is dynamic, innovative, and creative. I am an accountant with 20 years of experience and recently advanced to the Fellow CPA.
